Sold – Abel SDS 9/10 Ported - REEL1143

The Abel SDS 9/10 Ported fly reel is built to excel in the most demanding saltwater environments. This reel handles 9-weight or 10-weight lines and provides the stopping power needed for hard charging species like tarpon, permit, and striped bass. The large arbor design allows for rapid line pick up during high-speed runs. Its smooth drag engagement protects light tippets while offering the torque necessary to turn a fish away from cover.

Abel utilizes a fully sealed drag system that incorporates a multi-disc stack to deliver consistent pressure in harsh conditions. This SDS model is machined from 6061-T6 aerospace grade aluminum to ensure maximum structural integrity and corrosion resistance. The ported frame reduces overall weight without compromising the strength required for big game fishing. This specific reel features a custom Satin Platinum finish with a Blue III handle and a rare Bahamian Flag drag knob. These handcrafted details reflect the premium American craftsmanship that Abel is known for worldwide.

This Abel SDS 9/10 Ported comes in Great condition with just a few very minor signs of prior use. The reel, spool and drag knob have a custom black-blue-platinum fade. The handle is a matching platinum. Recast Fly Fishing has verified that the sealed drag and internal components remain in factory condition. Acquiring this reel offers a unique opportunity to own a rare custom configuration at a significant value compared to new custom orders. It is a striking addition to any saltwater setup that is ready for a lifetime of use.
